Delta Rho Epsilon Pledge Warden ........... Jerald Km Social Chairman ...... Robert Lowerr The Delta Rho Upsilon fraternity was orginally founded as the Pioneer Club on November 11, 1929. The adviser was Dr. Zachariah Davies, who as a member of the faculty now is an honorary member of the fraternity. The Club was dissolved during World War II and its first meeting was held March 12, 1947 after being reactivated on January 23, 1948; the name was changed from the Pioneer Club to the Pioneer F raternity and was given fraternity standing by the college. In the spring of 1950, the name was again Changed, this time from the Pioneer Fraternity to its present name as Delta Rho Upsilon. The outstanding dance of the year is the annual Smile Queen Formal which is held in spring. Each sorority selects a candidate to compete for the title of Smile Queen. This contest was be- gun in 1949 and the first queen was selected by an outside judge. However, the members of the fraternity 110w choose their queen, the winner being announced at the dance. Voting by the fraternity members is based on the smiles 0f the contenders as witnessed by them on the campus, in the classrooms and at social gatherings, so that the candidate with the readiest and most pleasing smile is Chosen. Another event much looked forward to by the fraternity is the selection of the outstanding senior from their members. The selected senior has his name engraved on a plaque which is retained by the fraternity and kept in their suite. This plaque is named after Dr. Zachariah Davies who has either been an adviser 0r honorary member during the entire history of the fraternity. The senior is chosen by an evaluation vote based on his participation in intramurals, in social events, by his rating as to character, leadership, being known as courteous, neat, gen- tlemanly and in the manner which he respects other peoples faiths, beliefs and opinions. The Delta Rho Upsilon fraternity has been the leader of all fraternities on campus for scho- lastic achievements. Since the organization of the fraternity in 1947, the fraternity has won the scholastic trophy, which is presented by the Carroll College Student Senate, each semester and is still in possession by the fraternity. Optimistic reports are that it will continue to stay with the fraternity for several years yet. Page One Hundred TH'eIIly-rix

Phi Theta Pi President ............ Ellsworth Smith Secretary ............... Garvin Smith Treasurer ......... George Molesworth Social Chairman ....... John Houlahan Pledge Warden ..... Shannon F erguson Since the establishment of Phi Theta Pi on the Carroll campus in 1925, the fraternity has taken great strides. One of the largest steps has been made by the members of this years active chap- ter. The social season was opened by the Phi Thete,s when we held our Open House in the suite at Caples early in October. John Houlahan planned the entire evening and based it on a iiCay 90,5, theme. From the active chapter we drew a group of entertainers for the iiSmokerT and supplemented them with a couple of lovely Carroll Co-eds. As a result of the evenings activities we were able to pledge 15 outstanding young men. Houly gave an indication of further things to come when he gave us a fine informal 0n the gambling casino theme. Preparations for our annual iiTomatai, formal were then in order. iiUle,i Smith handled the contest, with the final judging again being done by Al Buettner of WTMI. The results were announced at the formal held in honor of the winner at the Silver Room of the Am- bassador Hotel in Milwaukee. Queen Joan Pritzlaff of Nashotah, a Carroll junior and Chi Ome- ga sorority member, reigned over the evenings festivities. On March 1, the pledge class pre- sented as their major project before becoming active members, an informal western dance in the band room of the gym. On April 4, the membership enjoyed the annual iiApache,i dance in the union. John Houlahan outdid himself in arranging unique decorations and refreshment. The so- cial season was brought to a close with our Spring formal, which was held at Burlington, Wis- consm. The annual alumni banquet was held in the Treasure Island room of the Avalon Hotel in Waukesha, on March 17. We won two major all-school events this year, the S.C.A. Carnival and Sing. The carnival saw Our Horror House? a brain-child of Dick iiMo the? Bayer. In the sing, Bob Bray directed us to victory with the iiMaine Stein Song, Septemb 3r Song, and Hawaiian War Chant? In the race for the athletic supremacy cup, the Phi Thetes have had a very successful year. Teams in volleyball, badminton and bowling each added a cup to the collection. Our thanks go out to Ellsworth Smith who so ably directed us through the year. To the grad- uating seniors we can only wish luck, happiness and SUCCESS. Page One Hundred Twenty-eigbt
